About Our Shelter...

New Beginnings has been in the animal sheltering business for ten years. It started as a small trailer and grew from there adding a special needs shelter, and now we are a building a kitten nursery. We are known to go to the extreme to save cats lives. We have 5 full-time employees and about 15 volunteers. We our known to take in the "unadoptable cats" many shelters won't take because we fully believe every cat deserves a second chance at a new life
